Why the 70 Orton Phonograms Are the Key to Unlocking Reading Success

A Personal Foundation

This is how I learned to read and spell. It was the foundation of my own literacy and the key to my lifelong love of learning.

As a previous Title I Reading Teacher, I have used this same approach with students and seen proven results again and again. It works—not because it’s trendy, but because it’s grounded in how the brain actually learns to read.

This method isn’t new. For years, many educators moved away from this structured, systemic approach—and we’ve watched literacy rates suffer as a result. Now, the “science of reading” has become a buzzword, reintroducing phonics to the classroom as if it were something new.

But this system—the Orton phonogram approach—has stood the test of time. In my opinion, it remains the best there is for unlocking literacy, building confidence, and giving every child the tools to succeed.

If your child hasn’t learned the 70 Orton Phonograms, they’re missing the foundation every fluent reader depends on. Without it, they risk falling further behind—academically and emotionally.

You don’t have to let that happen.

Our program is comprehensive, thorough, and incredibly effective. We use a proven multisensory approach designed for dyslexia, autism, and SLI learners—and we CHART measurable growth so you see the results in real time.

This isn’t just another reading program. It’s the best investment of your time and money—because it gives your child the gift of literacy, confidence, and a brighter future.
